Cookware

baking sheet pan · can opener · chef's knife · citrus juicer (optional) · colander · cutting board · measuring spoons · mixing bowls · nonstick skillet · oven mitts · stirring spoon

Directions

  1. Rinse the lentils and pat them dry, then spread them on a baking sheet and prepare to roast.
  2. Toss the carrots with a drizzle of oil and garam masala to coat, then spread them over the lentils on the sheet.
  3. Slide the sheet into a hot oven and roast about 10 minutes, stirring once halfway, until everything is warmed through.
  4. While the carrots roast, wash the cilantro, cucumber, and tomatoes; pat dry and chop as directed.
  5. Juice half the lime into a medium bowl, then slice the remaining lime into wedges for serving.
  6. Remove cilantro leaves from stems, chop, and add to the lime juice bowl; stir to combine.
  7. Dice cucumber and tomatoes, add to the bowl along with salt and coriander, then mix to finish the salad.
  8. Warm the tortillas in a skillet, oven, or microwave just until pliable, then set out for filling.
  9. Spoon the warm lentil-carrot mixture onto each tortilla, sprinkle with feta, and top with a portion of the salad; serve with lime wedges.

Two tips

  • Prep the cucumber and tomatoes in advance and refrigerate with the chopped cilantro for faster assembly.
  • Swap feta for a different crumbly cheese if needed, or serve the filling over a bed of greens for a low-carb option.
